Donndelinger's notes showed that many teachers were hiding behind the door when Donndelinger opened it a crack to tell Larkins that she did not have time to talk to her. Richard Werlin was also present. CVESD personnel engaged in plenty of bizarre behavior, but none of it was engaged in by Maura Larkins.

Richard Werlin had enticed Maura Larkins to return to work at Castle Park Elementary in April 2001 by saying that he would make sure that no more accusations against her would be acted upon without investigation. Instead, principal Gretchen Donndelinger's notes show, Werkin tried hard to elicit accusations on April 20, 2008.
